"So many are dying that the system is overwhelmed.."
This is correct. But one can not say that everything is completely the same with the exception of SARS-COV-2.
It's not 100% of the overage is exclusively SARS-COV-2 deaths, people still die from other things. Some bodies are held for examination, autopsy, or testing, not every one will absolutely be SARS-COV-2, just most of them. More bodies for testing means longer storage times. Not every funeral home can be guaranteed to be operating at it's normal speed.
The rate of death is higher due to the addition of SARS-COV-2 patients, so there are more bodies in the hospital, more of them are fatal, this means more bodies for the morgue.
The rate of change is substantial, nothing that's been recorded in modern times with the exception of natural disasters, like a hurricane.
One thing is that people want to focus on the bogus death reporting, but ignore the confirmed positives. When you have over 10,000 new positive cases in one day, confirmed tests, it would be a miracle for all of those people to live through any influenza infection, especially one without a vaccine. So a percentage increase of medical care can be assumed based off of historical outcomes since recording has existed.
Since people who are hospitalized in intensive care with SARS-COV-2 die at a higher percentage than other patients, a 10,000 person infection rate increase will most likely mean more deaths.
I for one am trying to get out from under this. FN has a new SCAR platform that my real job needs to be implementing and I need 20 minutes a day minimum of usage I am not getting. If this goes on much longer I will lose my certification, so I'd love to hear good news about how all of this death count and infection rates are bogus.
